When clicking on the "Parish Data (Graphs)" link for Louisiana, it simply takes you to a page with a map of Louisiana and none of the parishes nor their data. I suspect it's a glitch due to Louisiana using "parish" instead of "county", leading to a disconnect somewhere when it tries to retrieve the parishes and their data. This applies to every election for Louisiana as far as I can tell.

Hello,
I wanted to inform you that you have the wrong popular vote total for Lincoln in Ohio in 1860.
You have it as 221,809, but the figure is quoted as 231,709 in a variety of scholarly sources, including the Encyclopedia of U.S. campaigns, elections, and electoral behavior: A-M by Kenneth Warren, The Triumph of Sectionalism: The Transformation of Ohio Politics by Stephen E. Maizlish, and the the 1990 Statistics of the United States from the U.S. Census Office. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

It wouldn't allow me to post the full URL, but for the Gubernatorial election for Alabama in 1986, it looks like the vote total is about double what it should be for each county's vote totals based on the surrounding years.

The FL-Pres map has about 83k extra write-in votes that don't exist. Per the state's elections office, there were only about 200 statewide:
https://results.elections.myflorida.com/Index.asp?ElectionDate=11/8/2016&DATAMODE=
This skews the % that all candidates got, giving Hillary and Trump about 0.5% less each than they actually received.

Voter turnout data for Alaska in 2008 and 2012 has repeated CNTY codes - 704 - for the majority of house districts there. Additionally Census Tiger shapefiles use a different code schema for identifying house districts. For example - rather than 02701 and 02740 for house districts 1 and 40, the Census uses 02001 and 02040. This will impact people mapping results using Census files.

Some counties in IL have incorrect data. They are as follows:
Knox County (http://www.gbsvote.com/locations/county_results.asp?id=4616) reports 3,549 votes for Clinton and 5,844 votes for Trump. The data you have shows 22,719 votes for Clinton and 20,286 votes for Trump.
Menard County (http://www.menardcountyil.com/files/4914/7865/9120/ELECTION_RESULTS.pdf) reports 1,808 votes for Clinton and 4,230 votes for Trump. The data shows 3,061 for Clinton and 4,800 for Trump.
Vermilion County (http://www.co.vermilion.il.us/cntyclrk/results-1.htm) reports 4,871 votes for Clinton and 14,364 votes for Trump. The data has 20,204 votes for Clinton and 28,440 for Trump.

when you include registered voters column it adds current registered voter numbers (I tried 2012,2008,2004 and some states end up with over 100% turnout) rather then registered voters at the time of the particular election year you're looking at. there is no way to get correct turnout % after adding that column as well.

For the Alaska election district-level results of 2000, it is not possible to see the relationship between the tabulated data and their respective statistical units on the map.
Unlike all the other maps, one cannot simply hover over the map and see what district corresponds to which spatial unit on the map.

Within the "Results" section, under "Primary Election: 2016 U.S. President - Republican Primary", John Kasich is listed as having "0" State Wins.
However, on the State Specific results page, it indicates that he won all 66 delegates. http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2016&fips=39&f=0&off=0&elect=2

My 2015 Gubernatorial Endorsements aren't showing up under my Atlas profile. The site appears to behave as though I never made one. Is it possible for this to be retrieved, or failing that, to allow me to create and submit a new one?

In the home page for the 1796 presidential election, Samuel Adams was listed incorrectly as a Federalist. Unlike his cousin John, Samuel was a Democratic-Republican, and he received electoral votes from Democratic-Republican Jefferson electors from Virginia (as was correctly presented in the electoral-votes page)

In the home page for the 1820 presidential election, as well as in the electoral-vote results, Richard Stockton of NJ is listed as a candidate of the Democratic-Republican Party. However, he was the VP candidate for the Federalist Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stockton_(U.S._Senator) While the 8 electoral votes received by Stockton were from electors that had voted for Democratic-Republican President James Monroe, Stockton should be listed as a Federalist.

In table for electoral votes by state for the 1792 presidential election, there is a footnote that states that 6 electors did not cast votes. However, the correct number of electors that did not cast votes was 3. (The table itself correctly states that there were 135 electors appointed but only 132 cast votes.)

The map for the 1864 presidential elections depicts Nevada with its current shape, despite the state not gaining its southern area until 1866 and its far eastern area until 1867. In 1864, Nevada's southern border was at the 37th parallel (thus excluding all of what later became Clark County and the southern part of what later became Nye County) and its eastern boundary was at the 115th meridian (as compared to its current border at the 114th meridian).

The map for the 1820 presidential elections gives Missouri its current shape despite the Platte Purchase (in which the state purchased its NW corner) not becoming official until 1837. Your maps for elections between 1824-1836 depict Missouri without those NW counties, so I assume that the 1820 map was an inadvertent mistake.

Louisiana is still shown in purple (1R & 1D) in the "seats" map for the 2014 Senate elections. I know Mary Landreiu is still serving but so are Kay Hagan, Mark Begich, etc. and their states are now colored blue (2 Rep).

It seems that the Michigan Senate race is missing a poll dated Aug 5th by Mitchell Research.
Please see my thread that I created on your website, for more details. Here is the link to my thread :
http://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=197887.0

Each national tabular results page has, near the bottom among its display options, two lines reading "Minimum Candidate Percentage to Display Individual Percent Column", and "Minimum Candidate Percentage to Display Individual Popular Vote Column".
These are fine options and would be quite useful, unfortunately there is no way to enter values for them. By the look of it, they each ought to have a text field, but right now there is nothing, so the options are tantalizing but unavailable.

When describing the Distroct Method in Method of Choosing Electors, the site notes, "Nebraska adopted this method in 1991 (first used in 1992), but has yet to split any electors." But in 2008, Nebraska split its electoral votes 4-1 in favor of McCain (with Obama winning 1 of the state's 3 Congressional districts), as noted on the Nebraska results page on the site for the 2008 Presidemtial election. National 2008 maps often show a small dot in the middle of Nebraska (your site would need a red dot in the middle of the blue Nebraska) as a reminder that Nebraska split its electoral votes.

Regarding your 2012 election night timeline (http://uselectionatlas.org/INFORMATION/ARTICLES/ElectionNight2012/pe2012elecnighttime.php) - NBC never officially called Oregon. Over on MSNBC (which was using the same data), they called Oregon about 30 seconds before they called Ohio. On NBC, Brian Williams was talking to Chuck Todd about data, and they never got around to Oregon because it was immedately overshadowed by the win in Ohio.

Close to being a bug these days, anyway: I think yours must be the last website using Red for Democrats and Blue for Republican. Time to give in. It's mind-twisting to view your website this way.
I wouldn't bother to write at all if I didn't think you have a terrific website here, Dave. Thanks very much for building and maintaining it.
Jack

Back leading up to the 2008 elections I found your site and it was invaluable for running some calculations. It is in a blog and has a link to your site. Many thanks.
I was updating and making some minor changes to my spreadsheet and came back to your site. When I looked at the maps you have, it seems you have the colors backward - republican is represented by blue when it should be red and democrat is represented by red and should be blue. Please check and verify me on this. Thanks.
Just looked and it is the same on http://uselectionatlas.org/TOOLS/evcalc.php?year=1980 (and other years)
so you may want to check all you pages.

When Santorum leads in a poll, it's still saying Cain has the lead (I'm assuming due to the switching of colors and giving Santrum Cain's old color). I'm not sure where it does it, but it at least does it in the MN polls page.
On the main page, a Santorum lead results in a Gingrich "lead".

I think there must be an error in the 1936 (and probably 1924 as well) data and map for Assumption Parish, Louisiana. The Democrat percentages in Assumption Parish from 1924 to 1936 were as follows: 1924: 33.66% 1928: 75.54% 1932: 79.94% 1936: 39.06% 1940: 70.90% The Republican percentages from 1924 to 1936 were as follows: 1924: 66.34% 1928: 24.46% 1932: 20.06% 1936: 60.94% 1940: 29.10% I cannot think of any conceivable reason that would explain how a parish that gave FDR 79.94% in 1932 and 70.90% in 1940 would have given him only 39.06% in 1936 (with 60.94% going to Alf Landon), especially when no other LA parish came close to voting for Landon in 1936. The 1936 figure must be a typo. Regarding 1924, while several South Louisiana parishes gave Calvin Coolidge over 45%, no others came close to giving him the 66.34% he is listed as getting in Assumption. I think it is possible for the 1924 data to be correct, since surrounding parishes similarly moved drastically towards the Democrat Alfred E. Smith in 1928 (not surprising, given their historical Democrat tradition and the fact that Smith, like most Cajuns, was Catholic), but I think that figure should be double-checked to make sure it isn't incorrect.

Your results page for WA: http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/index.html, shows a race between 1992 and 1988, with the year "2008" and the candidates "John Trafton".

1836 election data for Hugh Lawson White shows him as 7th place in the state of Vermont. There are only four candidates, and the table shows that White did not receive any votes in that state. It appears to be a repeat of the electoral count (7) which was given to William Henry Harrison.

Just to confirm the same. I am logged in through Firefox but cannot post or IM. Also cannot sign out. Where I am signed out (cleared cache in I.R so tried that) I cannot sign is as password is not recognised. Cannot change password either. Same true on other proxys.

I registered over three days ago and STILL HAVE NOT BEEN SENT an email confirming nor denying my entrance into the forum. Some new forumers (Smidge?) have registered and BEEN ACCEPTED nearly 1 HOUR after the fact. I merely want an email confirming or denying my forum-ship.

Ignore my previous bug report. I discovered what is going on. Your site no longer reports an "Other" category if no data or incomplete data is available; in the past it reported an entry for "Other" as 0. Though, if no data is available for the Democrat or Republican, it lists 0. For consistency, it would be great if you kept the old display method, e.g., to facilitate screen scraping of the data. I use it in a course I teach (of course, with appropriate references back to your site).

The Oklahoma 2008 table does not display the vote tallies for the "Other" candidate (typically in yellow). The raw data is in the html file, so this data seems to be available.
Thanks for the awesome site!!!

I am unable to log in on the forum. They say than my password is incorrect. If I try to ask ''Forgot your password?'', they say me ''Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.'' At the bottom of the forum I have not the log in option. I have the log out option. If I click on it, they send me the same message, ''Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.''

When I try to click on the link at the bottom of the 2008 presiential user prediction page that says "create my prediction", the website tells me to log in. I log in successfully. I click on the "View my presidential prediction (2008)" and I can't update it! When I click on the "update my prediction" link at the bottom of the page, it makes me log in again! Then I still can't update it! Help please!

Two problems. Normally when I place cursor over a state, a box appears with data relating to that state. However, during the past week, that box does not appear; instead, a large rectangular yellow box, with no data, appears.
Second, when I tried to post this message (twice) on your guestbook, I was asked to fill in the blank with the number adjacent to the box. I did so twice, and each time I got a message saying that I had filled in the wrong number.
I like you site very much and refer to it often.

This is kind of nit-picky, but your state boundaries are not right for the early years. In 1789, Virginia included all of what is now Kentucky. In 1789, 1792 and 1796 Connecticut included the NE corner of Ohio. In 1789 through 1800 Georgia included most of present-day Alabama and Mississippi.

Not a bug, but I thought I'd suggest re: the 2008 Presidential Predictions Contest either separate hyperlinked pages to each of Maine and Nebraska's congressinal districts (brought up by clicking within the appropriate box, which would solve some of the confusion referred to in my last bug entry) showing the same party win, percentage and confidence breakdowns for those districts as for the states (currently one can just tell the median, not how much of a median it is, and as dark blue as Nebraska is even determining the median is tough), OR (the alternative) showing that information on the Maine and Nebraska prediction pages. I first thought about this I think back in 2004 but never e-mailed you about it, or if I did I don't remember. Being from Maine I'm a little biased, but I think that would be a worthwhile project to undertake when you are able to alot time to site improvements (not that the site needs any improvement, but you know what I mean).

Error in Map

In the 2004 electoral vote map (and the map that comes up when you curse over it), which is also shown on the 2008 Presidential election predictions page, you have the leftmost box in Nebraska in the darkest blue (presumably representing NE-03, Bush's best district both times, which is indeed the westernmost Nebraska district), but in the deluxe edition of your Electoral College Calculator and, I recall, the 2004 predictions contest (and maybe the 2008 one as well) the boxes in both Nebraska and Maine ascend numerically from left to right as far as the Congressional districts they represent. It might be a good idea to move the >70% blue (the rest of Nebraska is >60% blue for 2004) from the leftmost box to the rightmost box for the 2004 result maps which include those boxes, although I'd understand if you wanted to change the maps generated by the calculator and in the predictions contest instead. Changing a couple of electoral vote maps plus a "hypermap" (when you curse over the "Elec vote" with a mouse in the 2004 Presential Election National Results page) might be easier and less confusing to viewers, however (NE-01 is the "central" district in Nebraska, with NE-02 a "bite" out of the Eastern edge of the district and NE-03 to the west).
Thanks for reading this and for all that you do with this site.

I assume you haven't had the time to put in all election results yet, though the numbers you have are similar in most cases to the numbers of the various secretaries-of-states' sites, which is good. Though in California you're missing a whole lot of votes. About one and a half million votes, to be precise. Another state where you're missiong a lot is Arkansas (relatively to the number of votes) - 70,000. And also Pennsylvania - 80,000, Virginia - 10,000.
I would recomend you fix CA as soon as possible, since you are really missing a large bulk of votes.

Hey Ron,
Nice job getting the Maine results up so soon. Some precincts must have been missing when you posted the 2006 Senatorial and Gubernatorial Maine election data. All but one precinct, the town of Albion in Kennebec County, has been recorded now in the Bangor Daily News's online tabulations. That seems to be what most people in the state used to get the results of the election. Of course the towns also reported directly to the state Elections Division but it may be awhile before those results are certified - Maine is a slow state that way. Anyway, you can see the results for the state and each county (albiet with Kennebec County one town short - you seemed to have gotten your data for that county before Windsor came in) at http://www.bangordailynews.com/election/2006/? . Some counties are correct in your table but Aroostook County is correct for the Senate candidates and Baldacci but not for the other goober candidates (although the total vote in that race is interestingly the same) so you'll want to be careful when you check your table for accuracy.

I was able to post polls before, and I had only done one, but now that I tried to enter a new MI Zogby poll, I'm not able to. I think this would be considered a bug, but I'm not sure.

While some sources indicate that the James Armstrong who received an electoral vote from Georgia in the 1789 election was the James Armstrong of Pennsylvania, others indicate that it was a James Armstrong of Georgia who was serving on Georgia's Executive Council at the time. The vote itself does not indcate which Armstrong was meant, but given the lack of other connection between the Pennsylvania Armstrong and Georgia, 'd favor the Georgia one myself, with a note explaining the problem on the page.

In the Westchester County, NY township data for the 2000 election, the population figures for each township appear to be placed one row above where they should be.
Also, as a suggestion, when one scrolls over a county and it gives you the total vote and the percentage for the R and D candidates, perhaps it could also give you the population as of the most recent census (1990 Census for 1992 and 1996 elections, 2000 Census for 2000 and 2004 elections, etc.). And would it be possible for the township maps to be clickable so that one knows where each township is?

Trend data in tables (not maps interestingly) for 2004 is wrong, seemingly all over, but should be easily correctable since the one constant error seems to be that the opposite of the appropriate adjustment for the swing data is used. It shows the nation as "trending" 5.96% Republican, and 5.96% is exactly twice 2.98% (the national Republican swing from 2000 to 2004 according to your data). The "trends" for 2004 seem to be consistently either 2.98% or (occasionally, probably because the nationwide Republican swing is between 2.975% and 2.98% and that is factored in, albeit the wrong way, before the rounding) 2.97% more Republican than those of the nation as a whole.
Interestingly, for New Hampshire, which had close to the opposite swing (although 0.34% less) as the nation, the resulting trend figures for New Hampshire counties and towns are pretty close (only 0.34% off to the Republican side) to the difference of the 2000-2004 swings for those counties and towns and the statewide 2000-2004 swings, like a trend against (or whatever terminology is appropriate) the statewide swing rather than against the national swing. The county trend maps for New Hampshire and every state still show the county "trends v. the nation," however. Perhaps you could create "trend v. state" maps and data pages and columns sometime in the future when you have time for an update on that scale and don't have any higher priority update or addition to your site to make.
